Our Verdict
This is a solid option for those seeking a relatively modern diesel SUV. With a clean MOT record at the most recent test, it presents a lower immediate risk than many similar models.
When viewing this specific Tiguan, verify the service history to ensure the 2.0L TDI engine has received regular oil changes, as this is crucial for diesel longevity. Given the mileage is approximately 47,000 miles, check that all major service intervals have been met according to the manufacturer's schedule.
Since the aggregate data for this model shows 'tyres' as a top failure reason, inspect the tread depth and condition of all four tyres on this vehicle. Negotiate on price if the tyres are nearing the legal limit or show uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
As a 1968cc diesel, this Tiguan is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel costs will vary based on driving style. Tax bands for this model vary depending on CO2 emissions, so buyers should check the specific tax rate for this registration.
Insurance groups for the Tiguan Life TDI typically sit in the mid-range. Maintenance costs should be predictable, though typical diesel-specific requirements like AdBlue refills and DPF considerations should be factored into your annual budget. We estimate an annual running cost of £1,400-£1,800.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and braking components. While this specific vehicle had no defects in its May 2025 MOT, the wider model data highlights tyres as a frequent failure point across the Tiguan range.
Check the condition of the silver paintwork for any signs of stone chipping, common on SUVs used for motorway driving. Additionally, inspect the underside for any signs of leaks or excessive corrosion, and ensure the diesel engine runs smoothly without excessive vibration or unusual noise during a test drive.
This 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Life TDI S-A is a silver diesel model with 47,365 miles recorded at its last MOT in May 2025. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 9,941 miles per year, suggesting frequent use. However, the most recent MOT pass was achieved with no defects recorded, which is a positive indicator for its current roadworthiness.
The Tiguan model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.7% across 1,244 analysed vehicles.
